  1916, 1918, 1919 - City Directory - Rochester, New York - Under Thomas, Caroline wid of Harrison.  Shares addresses with daughter under name Scott, Birdie  Charwoman.
  1920 - Census - Unable to locate Caroline by name.  Not with daughters Hattie, or Libby.  Not with son John W Carico. 

However, the 1920 Census record for daughter Birdie Scott in Rochester NY shows that she is living with a Thomas Scott a 80 years old widow who is the parent of Birdie.  If you look at the sheet, F was crossed out and M written in for sex.  It appears like there was some confusion when the record was being record.  Based on the age of this Thomas and Birdie, This Thomas Scott is actually Caroline Thomas.  This is also backed up by the 1920 City Directory for Caroline in Rochester, NY...street address 200 Plymouth matches Census.  See Census
  1922 - City Directory - Portsmouth, OH - Under Thomas, Caroline wid of Harrison.  Shares address with daughter Elizabeth "Libby" Ball wife of Joseph Ball.
  1925 - City Directory - Cleveland, OH - Under Thomas, Caroline wid of Harrison.  Shares address with daughter Hattie Nocholson at 3611 Dover Ave.

  Phoebe Carico - b. ca Apr 1860, IN ; d. Jun 19, 1892, Huntington, Cabell Co., WV. Unknown burial location.  Strong possibility that it is Spring Hill Cemetery. Grandmother Phoebe Ellen Phillips Kittle is buried there along with husband Marion.  Although, Marion is probably buried by himself.  Children did not know who their mother was on all three death certificates so they would not know to bury Marion with Phoebe if she was there.
